Lincoln, Neb.- The Nebraska Wesleyan women's basketball team fell to 0-13 on the season after suffering a 74-58 loss to the Buena Vista Beavers on Wednesday evening
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Nella Castaneda scored the first two points of a tightly contested first quarter. As the game swung back and forth both teams strived to grab the momentum.

The first quarter saw five different Nebraska Wesleyan players score, as the team combined to shoot 23.53% from the floor.
- The game continued to go back and forth in the second quarter. Nebraska Wesleyan gained a four point lead early in the quarter, only to see Buena Vista respond to take a 17-16 lead later in the quarter. The Prairie Wolves punched back to take a 22-19 lead late in the quarter before Buena Vista tied it up with a three. However, with one second left on the clock Anna Vandenack made a lay up to put Nebraska Wesleyan up 24-22 at halftime.
- The game remained competitive until mid way through the third quarter, that is when Buena Vista went on a 27-12 run to end the third quarter. The run gave Buena Vista a 53-40 lead as the game turned to the fourth and final quarter.
- Though Nebraska Wesleyan fought hard in the fourth quarter, the Prairie Wolves were unable to stage a comeback and fell to their conference rival 74-58.
